Building your own home or adding to an existing one is a major undertaking and can be stressful as well as hugely rewarding. Whilst architects and builders specialise in construction, it pays to have someone help analyse what and how YOU want to use your new space so that power points, lighting, walls and furniture can all be sited at the planning stage and colours and styles of kitchen cabinetry, flooring and worktops can be established before purchase so every item works well with the next.

Likewise, if you’re building an extension, you may need help marrying the old with the new so that the new space blends seamlessly into the existing framework rather than looking like a clunky bolt on. A well planned loft or extension should also unlock potential in existing rooms which you may need help maximising.

Founded in 2009 by director Vicki Wharton following completion of a certificate in interior design at industry specialist KLC College of Interior Design, Vicki spent the next six years working as a senior designer in the Dulux Design Service. Drawing on her previous experience in communications, she developed a system in presenting and guiding client choice around materials that ensures each client’s preferences stay front and centre of every design.
